Didn't realise there was a difference. I guess reverb, to make the recording sound more "wet" if that's the correct term.
Well, that's where Audacity is a little weird. It doesn't have a dedicated Reverb function--apart from the GVerb effect I mentioned earlier.
However, it DOES have a Delay function, which yields much the same result.
I found that playing with the Delay settings, I can get a sound that might be similar to what you describe wanting.
When you highlight the entire track, then choose Delay from the Effect options, it will give you a small window from which you make 3 separate adjustments (and I'll put my recommendations in parentheses).
These are:
Decay Amount (try 20db)
Delay Time (try .5 seconds)
Number Of Echoes (try 3)
That might give you an idea of what it can do and how you might want to apply it.
Of course, just playing with it for a while will help you understand it's use better than anything I can say.
Oh, also I recommend first experimenting with tracks that are mainly just human voices--just for the fastest idea of what you're getting from it.
Hope this helps.
ETA: Depending on how you feel about Audacity, an alternative to it is a program called WavePad (if I'm not mistaken).
I recall it got high marks from Solium. I have tried to use it on occasion, but my brain just can't get around the GUI--my hemispheres just seem to prefer the layout on Audacity. So you might find WavePad worth looking at.

Awesome! Thanks so much for the detailed reply. I'll be looking into both options.
